Webinar Description

Navigating the demanding role of an immigration court interpreter requires more than linguistic expertise; it demands resilience, emotional fortitude, and self-awareness. Interpreters are entrusted with the critical task of accurately conveying not just words, but also the nuances of emotion, trauma, and personal narratives in a high-stakes environment.

In this workshop, we delve into the unique challenges faced by court interpreters, offering practical strategies and support mechanisms to bolster their mental well-being. From managing work-related stress to navigating personal triggers while maintaining professional detachment, participants will gain invaluable insights and tools to enhance their emotional resilience on the job.

Join us as we explore tailored techniques and self-care practices designed specifically for interpreters, equipping them to thrive amidst the complexities of their vital role in the judicial system.
